My bridal shower is coming up in a few weeks, which my fiancé's aunt is hosting in her home. I'm not a gifts person -- I said yes to a shower so as not to hurt her feelings, but I'm treating it more as a chance to hang out with people since I know I probably won't get real quality time with anyone on the wedding day.
It'll be a small event (16 people, all ages) but most of those are my fiancé's friends and family, so not everyone knows me super well. The only people coming from my side are my mom, one cousin, and two childhood friends.
His aunt and cousin are planning it together. They've asked me what games or activities I want, but I feel like guests don't actually like shower games or find them corny. Some games could be awkward for people, i.e. opening presents or "who knows the bride best" type games. I would love people to just have a chill lunch and talk and enjoy themselves, but I don't know if that's enough to keep things going for a few hours.
Do you think food and conversation will be enough, or should we do something else? What's actually fun and accessible?
